Popular quotes

“...enslaved black males were socialized by white folks to believe that they should endeabor to become patriarchs by seeking to attain the freedom to provide and protect for black women, to be benevolen patriarchs. Benevolent patriarchs exercise their power without using force. And it was this notion of patriarchy that educated black men coming from slavery into freedom sought to mimic. However, a large majority of black men took as their standard the dominator model set by white masters. When slavery ended these black men often used violence to dominate black women, which was a repetition of the strategies of control white slave masters used.”
― bell hooks, quote from We Real Cool: Black Men and Masculinity

“Can't say I'm surprised you were here. You have the curiosity of a cat and the common sense of a goldfish.”
― Susan Dennard, quote from Something Strange and Deadly

“¿Alguna vez has besado a alguien y luego sentiste que se aleja incluso mientras lo estás besando? ¿Alguna vez has imaginado el día cuando sus labios ya no son tuyos para besar? ¿Alguna vez has cerrado los ojos y tratado desesperadamente de aferrarte a ese beso, a ese momento en tu mente y en tu corazón para que puedas recordarlo por siempre?
Cada beso, no importa que intranscendente, un rápido beso de saludo, un beso de agradecimiento o un beso de “te veo pronto” es tratado como si pudiera ser el último. Es como una cicatriz permanente que tú sabes nunca podrá curarse.”
― Ali Harris, quote from The First Last Kiss

“Better to stop one paddle short than one too far.”
― Suzanne Woods Fisher, quote from A Lancaster County Christmas

“When leaders claim that God bypasses their followers and speaks directly to them, they greatly diminish all God does through the lives of believers.
Leaders who begrudge people the opportunity to seek God themselves and who do not actively teach their people how to hear God's voice have disqualified themselves as spiritual leaders.”
― Henry T. Blackaby, quote from Spiritual Leadership: Moving People on to God's Agenda

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
